Official Organ Butts County
And the City of Jackson.
Are you up with your fishing?
What is the sex of the subma
rine?
Is it the hookworm that the
early bird catches?
We can talk saucy lixe to the
wolf now that blackberries are
coming in.
Bargain sales say waists are
one-third off but they are still go
ing up —the back.
Georgia peaches are ripe. We
know some peaches that have
been ripe for the longest.
The government experts re
commend walking for the health’s
sake. How about running—from
the wolf?
First, last and all it’s
your duty to boost Jackin’ and
Butts county and patronize home
institutions.
Of course you are not going to
miss any opportunity to boost
the Butts county fair. Every
body’s talking it.
Let a fellow try to farm a lit
tle on the side and he’s sure to
be guyed nearly to death about
his crop of grass.
If Fellow Bloodworth will come
over and take a look at our Jack
son girls he will abandon that
correspondence course in matri
mony.
Some how we just can’t admire
the editor who fills up his paper
with dead cuts and questionable
free plate matter. White space
looks better.
The Atlanta papers can’t open
their mouths to defend Georgia’s
good name when traduced. Bet
you they understand the mute
code. Yet it is these peerless
powers of purity that try to run
the politics of the state and the
shame of it all is that the “dear
people” usually fall for it.
The Macon Telegraph has a
bright editorial page and is a
good paper. Now let it cut out
its “obitituary” correspondent
from Juliette and it’ll be a live
lier paper still. “The Man from
Juliette” makes a specialty of fu-
He gets all the exchang
es possible and when the subjects
are good and “dead” he sends in
his copy. Anything that hap
pens in a hundred miles of his
town is put down as “near here.”
A wonderful imagination has the
“Man from Juliette,” but he is
more elaborate than accurate.
The Growth of Chero-Cola
The Jackson Chero-Cola Bottling Company was
organized the first of February, 1914, with a capital
stock of $2,000, by Messrs. T. B. McMichael, L. B.
Thompson and V. W. Cole, all Butts county boys.
The growth of Cherc -Cola has been very remark
able indeed and is continually growing. Today we
are selling ten cases to where we were selling one
the same date a year ago.
As some writer has said the South is the land of
eats drinks. When the president of the United
States £°sires a feed that is out of the ordinary and a
great oeai\ out of the ordinary he goes to the South to
get it. l*hey are n 6t so materialistic in the South
that they dc> not *£tain an idea of the importance of
the palate, k*-'*-'
It is said by men who are supposed to know that
among the grastronomic delights which are called
into being south of the Mason and Dixon Line, Chero-
Cola is not among the leaSt delightful. As everybody
knows we have not the magnate’s millions behind us
to hack us up in case we fail, so, therefore, we can’t
afford to fail. We are going out after business on a
sound, honest business basiA, and are giving our trade
such service as was never given in this territory. We
have two motor trucks, both in good running condi
tion, so we are prepared fo fill orders on a very short
notice.
Chero-Cola is no imitation or substitute but dis
tinctly in a class to itself. Every bottle is labeled so
that it can be recognized at a glance.
Our plant is equipped with the moSt modern ma
chinery that can be bought. We have the only rins
ing and conveying machine ever installed in any bot
tling plant in Jackson and by this means it is impossi
ble for the bottled goods to contain trash or other
foreign matter. Our plant has been passed on by pure
food inspectors and stood A1 in cleanliness and sani
tation. Truly, Chero-Cola is the laSt word in bottled
perfection and if once tried will make you a lasting
friend of this popular and growing drink.
Yours for business,

SPRING OR SPRINGS?
Wehad a dispute yesterday as to
whether it was “Indian Springs”
or “Indian Spring.” We stood
against the plural and turned to
a Georgia guide to prove we were
right. And dinged if the afore
said guide didn’t have a low case
“s” tacked on to the name. We
still knew we were right and
sought out Doyle Jones’
Butts County Progress to back us
up. And we ginswiggered if the
Jackson paper, printed about
twenty (it is only five miles)
from the spring, didn’t have an
“s” tacked onto it, too. We
wish somebody would bolster us
up a little and tell us we are
right. If they don’t our prestige
in a certain quarter is lost. —Sa-
vannah Press.
If it be true that common us
age makes a thing correct then
“Indian Springs” is right, for
ninety-nine per cent of the peo
ple in Butts county and this sec
tion say “springs.” But regard
less of whether the “s” is put on
or left off there is no denying the
fact that this is a famous health
resort. Come up Colonel Sutlive
and spend a few days and try
some of the fine water at the
“springs.”
Why is the editorial page?—
Milledgeville News.
A space filler; a safety valve
for some horrible puns; :o show
off the editor’s “fine” writing;
a mental ointment for people too
lazy to do their own thinking; a
medium for the latest slang.
j We have about 100 Ladies hats
'worth up to $5.00 which we will
1 sell as long as they last at 98c.
